jdbarrick Valued Member United States 350 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 01:21 am Earle42, your "other hobby" is insulators right? I found two today at a thrift shop! Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10049 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 09:02 am jdbarrick - yup - if you pm me and send a pic I can help you ID them. To keep this coin oriented - rarely there have been insulators found where the worker tossed a coin into the mold before pouring the glass. Its cool to see the imprint of an IHS or a Buffalo nickel on the top. I do not own one of these but would like to someday. There is a modern repro-insulator maker (approved BTW - not like CHinese fakes) who encases coins inside, or makes coin impression on the dome of his old-looking insulators. I saw one of his sapphire blue glass (a beauty!) insulators with a Seated Liberty quarter impression in the dome - pretty cool looking. I am not sure the excessive heat hurts the coins either since the ones he has encased tend to be OK looking. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

CrazyCat Pillar of the Community United States 556 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 7:57 pm I've wanted some Mercury dimes for a really long time, and I got tired of roll hunting for one, so I decided to buy some. Got these three from a coin dealer. Also, the one on the bottom is a 1945. Report this Post to the Staff
